Skydive from space


Imagine skydiving from space...After successfully completing a test jump from 13.6 miles up, this summer daredevil Felix Baumgartner is going to attempt the unthinkable, a 120,000 foot skydive which is 40 miles from what’s technically considered space.  Felix will wear a special astronaut-like suit during the 10 minute jump to protect him from the temperature and keep him from suffocating as he travels 690 mph towards the ground.

Audi A1 Best Luxury Small Car of 2012


The Audi A1 has been named Best Luxury Small Car of 2012 by CarBuyer’s expert panel of road testers.
Editor-in-Chief of CarBuyer, Steve Fowler, explained: “The Audi A1 continues to be the best luxury small car for CarBuyer users. It’s posh, but not too pricey, while running costs are super low. We love the way it looks, the way it drives and the quality for the cash is unbeatable.”
The judges also highlighted that the A1’s “sleek good looks and an incredibly upmarket cabin are at the heart of the Audi’s appeal, while its impeccable build quality is second to none…”
What’s more, the arrival of the more versatile five-door Sportback version [in the UK] means the A1 is now as practical as it is desirable.
